I was at Walmart's today, and checked the Everstart 48-3 battery. It is now $70. with your old battery in trade. Seems like it was $54. a couple of weeks ago.

I also noticed it is a regular water battery, not maintenence free, with six cells
and circular cell covers with cross grooves for a coin or screwdriver. It looks a lot like the Porsche OE battery, and even has the vent tubes on the side. Maybe it's the Interstate battery?

This isn't the same battery as the Autozone Duralast 48 I bought. The Duralast is maintenance free, sealed cell, and has the vent tube coming out of the back.
Price was $85 with old battery traded. Starting OK the last couple of days.
Fits the compartment perfectly.
